LONDON: Mohamed Salah struck twice to fire Liverpool to a 2-1 win at Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp’s team had not won away from home in the league all season and had to hold on in the face of a second-half fightback from Spurs with Harry Kane halving the deficit.
The Liverpool manager could not hide his relief at the final whistle, celebrating in front of the traveling fans. “We just kept fighting, it was a big passion,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “In the first half we were the better side and scored two wonderful goals.
It’s a long time ago since we won away in the Premier League so it was relief at the end. “You need to learn winning again and that’s how it starts, with massive resistance.
It was clear they would come back but we came through it and it’s all good.” Salah put Liverpool in front after 11 minutes when Darwin Nunez controlled Andy Robertson’s pass and teed up his strike partner.
